I find my my heart goes a little kerplunk when a pregnant woman chooses a synthetic prenatal her OB/GYN recommends.

Some tell me that they choose what their doctors recommend because they want to do what their doctor tells them, others tell me they choose to get prescription prenatals because their insurance will pay for them.

I completely understand this.

Those Dr. recommended pre-natals did not agree with me during my pregnancies.

*The starred vitamins were the prenatals I tried 20 plus years ago – I experienced the GI distress and the itchy rash – it is fascinating to me that these are still on the market.

When I first saw this list with it’s inadequate nutrition and ingredients one can barely pronounce I thought my goodness do folks even know what is in these things???

The following list of pharmaceutical prenatals and their ingredients was NOT something I personally compiled. Note: it is referenced.

I am compelled to share it simply because of how alarming it is

I hope if you are pregnant that this information has you pause and reconsider what you are taking

Thanks Karen, I read your comments on prenatal vitamins and was interested in knowing which prenatal vitamins you recommend. I tried viewing them but found an empty page. Can you let me know the name of the vitamins that you mentioned above?
